In response to comments from our patrons, the libraries of the MVLC Consortium recently voted to change a few of the borrowing policies for downloadable audio books from our Overdrive library. The new policies are:

Books are now checked out for 14 days (instead of just 7)

Patrons can now check out up to 5 items at a time (instead of just 3)

The rest of our downloadable audio book policies have not changed. You can browse for and download these books from http://mvlc.lib.overdrive.com.

For assistance with searching or downloading audio books from Overdrive, please contact the Reference Desk.

The new Overdrive titles have been added for September. They should appear under new titles shortly but to view them now go to http://mvlc.lib.overdrive.com, click on "Browse all digital audio books" and then choose to sort by "Date added to the collection." There are 34 new titles this month.

A new selection of downloadable audiobooks have been added to Overdrive. To review or download them, go to http://mvlc.lib.overdrive.com and click on "New Titles" from the menu on the left side of the page.

A few updates have been made recently to our downloadable audiobook library.

Patrons can now click to browse by two new subject categories, "Historical Fiction" and "Literary Fiction." Also, over 150 new titles have been added in the last few months, bringing our total downloadable audiobook library up to almost 600.

Overdrive Media, the company through which library patrons can download digital audio books, has developed a guided tour for their service.

The tour has visual instructions on how to get started, install the software, browse for and download audio books, and more. For help with this guided tour, or with digital audio books in general, please contact the Reference Desk.
